What are the responsibilities and job description for the Dog Handler/Walker 2 position at Pant Dog Center?
Dog Daycare! Think kindergarten but for dogs. Dog Handlers are responsible for handling a group of 5 - 15 dogs. Our dog handlers go through extensive training and we have high and detailed expectations. Every dog daycare is designed differently, and working with one dog at a time is very different from handling a group of dogs. This position requires a commitment to the craft of caring for others' needs before yours, and learning about behavior modification for dogs. It can be both mentally and physically challenging. This is care work, so the safety and well-being of those in your care are of the utmost importance.
Responsibilities
Handling and overseeing the well-being of a group of dogs for your shift (5 - 8 hours), cleaning up after dogs, and communicating with other dog handlers and clients.
Qualifications
Work experience at a dog daycare facility is preferred but the commitment to the craft is required. Reliable transportation and the ability to work an opening shift (6:45 AM), or 11-7. Please send a letter of interest to admin@pantdogcenter.com to learn more.
